Debra incorporates mindfulness skills in all areas of her practice. She initially became interested in mindfulness to deal with a chronic illness (now thankfully healed). She found it so helpful in her own life that she started teaching her clients the skills she was using. She went on to develop clinical material on mindfulness skills and created a four-step process for working with clients using mindfulness that she perfected in her private practice and in an intensive outpatient program. Her clients have shown her that mindfulness skills improve the rate and quality of treatment outcomes.

Reviews

"Debra Burdick has written a gem of a book on mindfulness. As a guide for clinicians, the book has everything: no-nonsense, clear style; plenty of background info; tie-ins with research; excellent illustrations; and plenty of original experiential tools for introducing mindfulness and leveraging motivation and compliance. This is the kind of resource on mindfulness that you are not just going to skim through: you are going to copy and dog-ear and share this book with your colleagues and your clients. This just might be the last guide to teaching mindfulness that you buy."-Pavel Somov, Ph.D., author of Present Perfect, Reinventing the Meal and Anger Management Jumpstart

“This is an amazing, practical addition to the growing resources to help children and adolescents with a range of neurodevelopmental and emotional
difficulties develop specific skills to manage stress, tolerate frustration, and gain more awareness of blocks to obtaining what they want in life.”

-Laurie C. Dietzel, Ph.D.
, Co-Author, Late, Lost, & Unprepared

“She takes you through all ages and stages of development with specific directions on how to use and implement her mindfulness techniques. This coupled
with the explanation of neuroscience adds to the richness and beauty of this amazing book.”

brilliantly written book that makes neurobiology fun and easy to understand!”

-Julie Kleinhans, Confidence and Youth Empowerment Expert

“Burdick breaks down the more than 150 tools and techniques she offers into categories based on age making it easier to choose the appropriate ones

-Lawrence Edwards, PhD, LMHC, BCN Senior Fellow

“This “user-friendly” book offers clinicians a wealth of “hands on,” practical step-by-step exercises and strategies, supported by numerous handouts to
use with clients.”

-Judith Belmont, MS
, Author of The Tips and Tools for the Therapeutic Toolbox Series

“The skills in this book can be used in session or as "homework assignments" for younger clients and their families. They will insure that the skills
acquired in the psychotherapy or neurofeedback session are integrated, assimilated and utilized!”

- Stephen Larsen, Ph.D.
, Author of The Neurofeedback Solution

"Debra Burdick provides invaluable tools that every clinician, teacher, and parent can use in caring for children with mental health issues as well as
in helping kids and teens through normal developmental challenges. Thoughtful, clear, and concise, she shares practical techniques for teaching
children awareness of their bodies, thoughts, and feelings as the stepping stones to improve attention, emotion regulation, self-esteem, and the
ability to relate to others with kindness and compassion. A much needed guide for our children, our times, and ourselves."

, Assistant Clinical Professor in Psychiatry, New York Medical College, Co-author of The Healing Power of the Breath and Non-Drug Treatments for ADHD

who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, medical illness, or other conditions. Excellent integration of
neuroscience, child development, and mindfulness, with attention to the nitty-gritty of sound clinical work. Highly recommended for parents, educators,
